Cervical Cancer Vaccination
Cervical Cancer Vaccination Kings Hill, Kent
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women the under the age of 35 in the UK, and nearly 3,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer every year. Most cervical cancers are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). We use a vaccine called Gardasil 9 to protect against the nine main types of the HPV virus, which together are responsible for over 90% of cervical cancers in this country.
At Illuminate we provide this vaccination to women who have not been vaccinated as teenagers under the NHS, or who chose not to have the vaccination when it was offered to them. It is also suitable for men to protect them from other types of cancer caused by the HPV virus.
